St. Catherine, Ont., September 2.—
Alexander Easterly and wife disappeared
mysteriously from Effingham last fail. The
matter had been forgotten until a day or two
ago when Easteily’s brother revealed the
tact that the missing man had killed his wife
and buried her body in a lot adjoining their
residence. Easterly’s brother, John, assisted
in the murder and is now in jail. Thp
brother who makes the confession was assisting
John in burying the body when they
had a quarrel and the former was seriously
beaten. Alexander shot himself after killing
his wife, and, according to an understanding,
John cut the suicide’s throat, thus finishing
the job, and the body was buried in
Miller’s woods. The body of the worn n has
been found hut no trace of her husband’s
remains have oetn found and it is thought
his alleged killing is false.
St Louis, September 2.—What are known
as Hie Little Rolling Mills, situated in East
St. Louis, were closed tins morning by 350
of the hands striking. The men “kicked”
at an order announcing the same pay as
that of other mills, claiming it to be an attempt
to force upon them the reduced Pittsburg
scale.
Nevada, September 2 —The trial of
Henry Stair and his wife, Mannetta, for the
murder of old man Small and his son some
three weeks ago, which has been in progress
here for a week past, closed last night and
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The
jury recommended the woman to the mercy
of the court. An effort will be made to
obtain a new trial.
St. Louis, September 2.—Walter H.
Lennox Maxwell, the presumed murderer of
C. Arthur Preller,was arraigned in court today,
for preliminary examination, but the
case was continued to the 9tn instant, at the
request of his counsel, who was not ready.
New York, September 2.—Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse R. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris were passengers
this morning on the North Germen
Lloyd steamer Werra. They are bound for
Southhampton, the two first named on a
visit and the last named is going to her home.
Atlanta, September 2.—The corner
stone of the new Georgia capitol was laid
today with imposing ceremonies. Governor
McDaniel, on behalf of the capitol commissioners,
presented the building to the legislature.
General A. R. Dawton, of Savannah,
made the oration of the day. He reviewed
the history of Georgia and made patriotic
references to the war and to the present
peace and prosperity of the country.
Kansas City, September 2.—A bold train
robbery occurred on the Chicago and Alton
railroad tonight, but owing to a sudden
fright of the robbers, but little booty was secured.
As the westbound train, on its way
to this citv, left Blue Springs, 22 miles east
of here, about 9 o’clock this evening, four
masked men appeared at the smoking car
and were about to board it. A number of
men were standing on the platform and the
robbers passed to the next car in line, the
day coach. Three of them jumped upon the
forward platform and the fourth got on at
the rear. A man then mounted guard at
each end of the car, while the other two entered,
and with drawn revolvers, commanded
the passengers to give up their money. A
number of them handed out small amounts
of change, while one man, in his excitement,
passed out his purse, containing $23.
The robbers took whatever was offered
without searching the passengers, and made
no attempt to rob them of their jewelry.
When the pair had reached the middle of
the car they became suddenly alarmed, and,
pulling the bellcord, the fourrobbers sprang
off when the train slackened speed, and disappeared
in the darkness. The train passed
on and the conductor, James Boggs, reported
the affair to the officials of the road
from the next telegraph station. The train
then proceeded on its way to this city. The
passengers on the other cars knew nothing
of the matter until it was all over. There
was then great excitement among the more
timid ones, and many hastened to secure
their valuables and prepare for a return of
the robbers, even though all danger had
passed. The passengers of the car that was
robbed had scarcely time to realize what had
occurred before the robbers disappeared.
The booty secured amounted to about $30
in money, nothing else being taken. The
robbers are described as appearing awkward
and nervous, and evidently unus»d to such
work. They were roughly dressed and had
the appearance of farm hands. Each wore
a small black mask.
Washington, September 2.—The news
of the di owning of Mrs. Della Stella and
Senator Morgan’s son in the rapids of'the
Potomac was ieceived with great sadness
in this city, where they were both well known
and popular. The bodies have not been recovered.
Mr. Morgan was the only son of the senator
from Alabama, and was his father’s private
secretary. The senator and his family
are in great grief.
Fort Worth, September 2.—On Friday
last near Webber’s Falls, Cherokee nation,
William Hall and one McBride engaged in a
difficulty over some trivial matter, when Me
Bride shot and fatally wounded his adversary.
Upon seeing the terrible work he had
accomplished he remarked to the bystanders
that he had killed his best friend, and immediately
raising his revolver, fired and literally
blew the top of his head off. Both were
white men.
Washington, September 2.—The president
will arrive at the White House Saturday
night next. It was given out in the Washington
papers yesterday that he would not
get back until the 15th. You may bet on
Saturday night.
THE STATE.
LAMPASAS, September 2.—At an early
hour this morning the hacks, busses and
street cars were in demand to transfer the
the large crowd to the depot to take the excursion
to Goldthwaite, where the sale of
town lots took place today. The train left
promptly at seven o’clock, carrying a large
crowd. The sale commenced shortly after
arriving there, and about $35,000 worth of
lots were sold. The choice sold for $290
and the six following for $275 each. Quite
a number of our merchants will open branch
houses there.
Galveston, September 2.—A brief session
of the committees of Knights of Labor
and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway
was held tonight and adjourned until tomorrow
at 11 o’clock when a treaty will be
finally consummated. It is understood that
thus far the knights have gained every point
and those still remaining in dispute are not
essentially material to the issue.
Austin, September 2.—John F. Trippe,
arrested some time since on a charge of
fer'erery, was released today on bond.
Miss Mollie James, daughter of Mr. E.
L. James, one of the land board clerks,
died this morning.
Governor Ireland left his office yesterday

two hundred other persons in the city prostrated
with this disease.
Dallas, September 2.—A glove fight has
been arranged to take place in this city on
the 10th instant, between the St. Joe Kid
and William Black. It will be for $500, and
$100 a side has already been put up as a
forfeit. The fight will be straight, the best
man to win, so say the knowing ones.
Gainesville, September 2.—Late yesterday
evening A. D. Williams, an old and respected
citizen of Cook county, was shot and
instantly killed by Pruce Williams, a young
ruffian, wbo resides near him. The killing
took place about nine miles east of the city.
The murderer escaped, and will probably
swell the number of outlaws that now infest
the Indian Territory.
Weatherford, September 2.—The case
against J. H. Milliken, charged with the
murder of James Lee, was called in the distnct
court this morning and was postponed
until tomorrow, owing to the nonappearance
of several important witnesses.
Among the number was John Fansler,
principal witness for the prosecution. As he
was known to have been in town the day before,
the judicial indignation of Judge Beckham
was aroused and he forthwith assessed
a fine of $500 against the witness and ordered
a writ issued for his arrest with instruc'ions
to place him under bond for appearance
in the sum of $1,000 when found.
He was already under bond for $200,which
the court decided forfeited.
Corsicana, September 2.—The prohibition
meeting at the court house, to hear T.
J. Gibson, of Mexia, was fairly attended.
He was followed by Judge R. C. Beale, of
this ci’y, who tore the arguments of the man
from Limestone county to pieces.
A grand rally is on the tapis for tomorrow,
at Dawson, where Judge Gerald and
M. D. Herring, of Waco, will speak. An
excursion from this place will go on the
narrow gauge, to be in attendance.
Prospects for a large majority against local
option grow brighter every day, and our
merchants are jubilant over the prospec}.
Longview, September 2.—Prohibition is
aggressive in this county, and that sentiment,
or feeling, seems to go heart to heart
with that religious fervor that appears to be
spreading among people of all classes, both
black and white. Prohibition committees
have been appointed; also a number of
speakers, to thoroughly canvass the county.
Palestine, September 2.—A large crowd
of both sexes assembled at Tennessee Colony,
yesterday, to hear speeches on the subject
of prohibition. Captain Gammage and
B. F. Rogers spoke In favi r, and Rev. Ben
Parker and Colonel F. N. Hanks against
the measure. The speeches were listened to
attentively, there being more colored people
here than at any time since the canvass begun.
A leading feature in the canvass of
the antiprohibitionists has been to send
out canvassers to quietly pursuade the coloredjmen
from going out to meetings for discussion
cf the subject. The antiprohibitionists
are highly elated at the result of the
election in McLennan county, and claim this
county by 500 majority. If they triumph the
prohibitionists assert that it will be by the
the negro vote.
Temple, September 2.—Mr. Clements
found an alligator seven feet eight inches
long in Prairie branch, about one mile from
Temple, this evening, and after some exciting
work, succeeded in roping the reptile,
and now has its hide as a trophy.
Bob Armstrong, an employe of the Santa
Fe, has been arrested on a complaint of malicious
mischief in attempting to derail a
freight car by leaving a switch open, on last

by A. N. Woody. It is the only arrest th?t
has yet grown out of the strike at this place.
The examining trial of Archie McFarland
and the Watson boys, on the charge of
shooting into the passenger train near here,
on the 25th of August, was brought before
Justice Lowry, here, this afternoon. Only
tiro or three witnesses have been examined,
and the trial will continue tomorrow.
FOREIGN.
London, September 2.—Mrs. Jarrett was
taken into custody this morning on the
charge of abducting the Armstrong girl who
was the “Lily” of the Fall Mall Gazette’s
revelations. General Booth of the Salvation
Army surrendered Mrs. Jarrett to the auihorities
after having several conferences with
them during the past few days. The police
finally threatened to have a warrant issued
for General Booth’s arrest on the charge of
obstructing the law by concealing Mrs. Jarrett.
This frightened him and he immediately
’ produced the woman. Mrs. Jarrett
walked to the police station with a sister of
the salvation army, and in accordance with
an arrangement made with the superintendent
of the police, an officer was, in waiting
at the door of the station house and took her
in charge. Mrs. Jarrett demurely proceeded
to hercetl and was locked up.
Later in the day Mrs. Jarratt was taken
to the Bow Street police court, where she was
charged with having indecently assaulted the
Armstrong girl with administering a noxious
drug to her and with feloniously detaining
her, also with conspiracy with Mr. Stead of
the Pall Mall Gazette and others to commit
these offenses. Mr. Foleard, solicitor for the
treasury, appeared for the prosecutor. The
prisoner was remanded until next Monday,
bail being refused. A summons has been
granted, for complicity in the case, against
Mr. Stead, General Booth and others.
Jacques, known as Mr. Stead’s assistant in
securing the information contained in the
revelations, Mrs. Coombe, in whose house
the girl was secreted, and Madame Maurry,
in whose establishment the child was drugged,
have all been subjected to examination
and summoned to appear for trial at the Bow
Street police court on the charge of complictty
in the case. Mr. Stead, who is summering
in Switzerland, on being notified that a
summons against him had been issued, telegraphed
that he would return immediately
and answer the charge. Mr. Geo. Fitt
Lewis has been retained to conduct Mr.
Stead’s defense.

Canine Sagacity.
San Francisco Alto.
A remarkable instance of canine sagacity
came under observation of the Alta reporter
yesterday. Walking along Post street,pretty
well out of the business portion of the
city, he chanced to notice a little child some
five years of age at play with an immense
Newfoundland dog on the lawn in front ot
an elegant residence. In the rough and
tumble sport of the two the child hurt his
dumb playmate so that he snapped rather
angrily at the child. A lady, who stood
watching on the porch, cried out: “Nero,
aint you ashamed of yourself to frighten
baby? Go away, you bad dog.” Poor
Nero slunk away whining and irresolute;
suddenly he sprang toward a flowering
rosebush, bit off one of the fragrant biossoms
and with many an extravagant caper
laid it at the feet of the child, and then
bounded toward the misstress to receive
the caress of forgivness.

Officers of the Chili navy talk a great

It is estimated that the opposing candidates

Six of the clergymen who made a recent

covered by professional riders in ten hours,

The causes of a separation between a
Georgia husband ar.d wife were that she had
until after marriage concealed from him the
fact that her handsome teeth were false, and
that he neglected to tell her that he snored
in his sleep. They could not agree to set one
fault against the other.
The worthlessness of the murdered man
was the only plea made by a Wyoming lawyer
in defence of his client, who had deliberately
shota barroom bully for merely annoying
him. The judge said that argument
was unsound in law, but the jury let it justify,
to their minds, a verdict of acquittal.
A Queer Old Darkey.
Old Annie Hogan, known as “Granny
Ann,” who died recently in Mississippi at
the age of 120 years, was without doubt one
of the curiosities of the age. Her hair was
a yard long, silky and soft as could be, but
at the same time kinky. She would plait it
and wind it out in a long horn, which stuck
out behind, holding a bright bandanna
handkerchief out in a point. It was cut off
before her death, and will be sent to the
New Orleans exposition.
The old woman had some strange ideas.
She had a favorite son shot and killed by his
wife forty yaars ago. The last thing he ever
gave her was a bottle of molasses, which she
kept faithfully, always requesting that it
should be put in her coffin. The same son
owned what he called a “currie dog.” After
his master’s death the dog developed a
strong fancy for fresh mutton, preferring to
do his own slaughtering, which did not
please the overseers on the place, and the
“currie dog” met with a sudden and violent
death. “Old Granny Ann” carefully cut a
lock of his hair and requested that it also be
put in her coffin. A little box containing
every tooth she ever had had been carefully
treasured to go with the bottle and hair.
All her wishes were faithfully carried out by
her daughterinlaw, who has cared for her
with true Christian patience for twenty years.
Mormons Mobbed in London.
For some time past several Mormon missionaries
have been laboring with great energy
in the East End of London, and have
succeeded in making many converts and
proselytes, in spite of persistent opposition.
Recently there have been reports that these
missionaries had been systematically kidnapping
young women and shipping them to
Utah to be “sealed” to rich Mormons. All
sorts of stories have been told about the harem;
kept by the wealthy Mormons, and the
indignities inflicted upon the girls who were
entrapped into becoming their concubines.
These reports have greatly exasperated the
East Enders, and an infuriated mo(> invaded
and took possession of the hall in which the
missionaries were speaking. The invaders
stormed the platform, smashed most of the
furniture in the hall and made a wreck of
everything on the platform. The seven elders
who had been conducting the services
fled for their lives. The rioters chased them
through the streets, pelting them with mud
and every missile that could be picked up.
Several of the elders were captured and
terribly abused by the mob. Their clothing
was tom to shreds and they were beaten until
they were unsconcious and almost lifeless.
The rioters, evidently believing them dead,
fled and left the Mormons lying naked
and bleeding on the pavement, where they
were afterward found by the police.
